You only used 3M double-sided tape to install your roof?
I used this tape to install the rear and side polycarbonate windows without drill one hole. The tape is excellent an is being used to replace fasteners in new car manufacturing. I don't mean to hijack this thread so you can check out my project here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...rack-mods.html |
I would have thought the roof section contributed to structural rigidity. How was it originally attached?

I thought 3M made carbon-fiber specific epoxy for this type install - bonds CF to metal...I am no expert...I'm sure that tape is strong but I don't know how long it will last.
Did you consider the epoxy route? |

This tape replaces metal fasteners and welding. It is good stuff. http://www.uline.com/BL_6104/3M-5962...ylic-Foam-Tape |

Love the ram air. On the list.
Use the 3m 5962 tape. Used it to install a cf roof and it is working great. http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/...OrderHistory=Y https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...10c160385.jpeg |

No I did not. I have experience with this tape and I not a big fan of epoxy and glues. Way to messy.

It is interesting. I know Aston Martin uses adhesives for assembly. Back to the air scoop, I don't see that anyone has posted a part number or price for the factory part. How expensive is it?

I ordered a scoop from MA Shaw. The design is slightly different from the FVD unit; the side pieces that extend toward the front of the car are a bit longer. The curvature appears to be a very close match to the deck lid contour, but the finish is just a bit wavy. I dropped it off at a body shop to block and sand it in preparation for painting. I'll post some pics of the finished installation.
BTW, I bought some 3M automotive tape from custom car grills. I believe it's the same product linked earlier, but this is a much smaller roll, more suitable for a small job like an air scoop. |

If anyone needs an air scoop, I've got one in the garage I bought before I remembered I have the Cup rear deck lid on the car which has a scoop moulded in already. $75. Let me know.

"I was able to shave off 4 seconds off my best time at a track" That is more impressive than the build!

I wonder what the difference in weight over the steel roof on the GT3 is?
